Iran accused Israel of 'Zionist' aggression after clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israelis at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque Friday.
Over 150 Palestinians were injured after thousands gathered to pray at the holy site during the month of Ramadan. It was one of the most violent clashes since the Israel-Palestinian crisis last summer.
The marchers also reportedly expressed support for Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza but is defined as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. Palestinians clash with Israeli security forces at the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City Friday, April 15, 2022.
Iran has long backed Hamas and has helped train and provide military support for the Islamic militants in their fight against Israel.
